Overlapping Timer Mod
Back
What the Mod Does
This creates a timer used for speedrunning
that is NOT reset when the user loads a game.
This only records time for one player.
This works with version 1.02.01 of the game.
Installation
Install this mod
into the Input/Packages directory of the game.
It is a mod for the xar package,
because it depends the xar "command system".
Once you have put the mod's folder in the correct location,
open the game and add overlapping_timer
as a current mod for the xar package.
Install this Overlapping Time
side display into the directory
Input/HUD/SideDisplays.
Then load a game, open the engine menu
Options -> System HUD -> Side Displays -> Select Displays
and select the Overlapping Time display to be dispalyed.
How to Use It
Load any game that uses the xar package.
Open the console and run the command olreset.
Then, when you start a new game using the xar package,
the overlapping timer will start at zero.
When you load a game for that player, the timer will NOT reset
(it will keep going).
How It Works
If you are curious, the way the mod works is by using
"package variables".
These are variables associated to a package
(in this case the package of the mod),
and not variables assocaited to the saved game.
Modifying the Timer
The community can download this timer and
modify it as they see fit.
